INSTALLATION OF GRASS PAVERS

Good day Bloggers we are going to discuss the installation of Grass Pavers. It is one of the harder installs but the author with the help of you great Bloggers, will make this task easy .

The Grass Paver

Step 1

Measure the area which you intend to cover.

L X W = Area 

Area X 0.36 = Number of Grass Pavers required 

Step 2

Remove approximately 6" of top soil from the area you intend on installing Pavers.

Note: 
  • The installer should always be mindful of the finished height of the Pavers, taking into consideration the opening and closing of Doors and Gates.
  • The depth of the excavation is determined by the finished height of the Pavers.
  • The excavation should be completed and the area graded as to allow the surface water to run off in a direction away from the home or area of interest.

Step 3

The newly excavated area should be compacted with a plate compactor as to prevent undulation 

Step 4

Pour 2" of sharp sand into the area and spreed evenly.

Step 5

Compact  the sharp sand with plate compactor. Remember to maintain the grade of 1/2" to every 1' for water run off.

Step 6

Start laying the Pavers at one corner until the area is filled.







Step 7

Fill in the spaces with top soil and run the compactor over the Pavers. Ensure the fill covers the edges of the Pavers.


Step 8 

Plant Grass into the spaces to complete the job.
